Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

  • Adventure Tourism in Kampar, Malaysia: Profile and Visit Characteristics of Domestic Visitors
    International Journal of Business and Society, Vol. 19 S1, 2018, 175-185 ADVENTURE TOURISM IN KAMPAR, MALAYSIA: PROFILE AND VISIT CHARACTERISTICS OF DOMESTIC VISITORS Zulkifli Mohamed Universiti Putra Malaysia Syamsul Herman Mohammad Afandi. Universiti Putra Malaysia Sridar Ramachandran Universiti Putra Malaysia Ahmad Shuib Universiti Putra Malaysia Puvaneswaran Kunasekaran Universiti Putra Malaysia ABSTRACT There were 7.96 million domestic tourist arrivals to Perak in 2015, which marked an increase of 13.71 percent over the previous year. The arrival of domestic tourists to Perak in general and Kampar in particular have prompted a significant increase in demand for facilities and services for adventure tourism activities in Kampar, which is considered to be one of the icons of tourism in the state of Perak. However, a lack of information on the profile of visitors has hampered industry players in Kampar when it comes to identifying their target markets, marketing strategies, and added value products without losing sight of conservation priorities in Kampar. The aim of this study was to determine the profile and visit characteristics of visitors in Kampar from the perspective of adventure tourism. To achieve this objective, a study was conducted on domestic visitors who participated in the adventure tourism activities available in Kampar. On-site data from 102 visitors were collected. The results showed that adventure tourism in Kampar is comprised of visitors with an average age of 33 years and a mean monthly income of RM 3638.72. Most of them travel with friends and obtained the information about the destination through word of mouth and social media platforms.
